A friend of mine sent me a message. He said, "Hey Vic, why the sudden hostility?" I had to sit back and think about it...

Hey ****! Long time no hear!

Hope you are doing well, I have a long story to tell... but let me get to that comment. Why the sudden hostility? Hell, I dunno... You know me, I have no true ill-will towards anyone - it just really frustrates me what I hear here in Tucson lately. My cousin is down here with the national guard and I guess while listening to him, I take on his view points a little. He tells me stories that stand out in my mind, but I know in my heart that is not the norm.

Matter of fact, I know a lot of illegal immigrants. Work with them all the time and have hired many to work on my own house. I have to say they make really good hands. But at the same time they really do put a burden on the cities here. The schools, hospitals, etc etc...

I cant knock anyone for wanting a better life for themselves and their families. It is true, if that were me there I would want to be here too. Truth be told, I can relate a little bit. My great grandpa came here from Russia - right through Ellis Island. I used to get picked on when I was young due to my heritage - the whole cold war thing, remember?

I apologize very deeply if I offended you and/or anyone else - I just didnt think before I posted that and really, now that I do think about it, wish I had never conveyed that thought to the public.

I feel I need to post this in response to my original comment - I would erase the original, but I don't believe in doing that. I believe if you are man enough to say something - you should not hide the fact you ever said it. I also feel a man should admit when he is wrong and try to make it up. Again, I am sorry to anyone I may have offended.

I guess my two cents have grown into a dollar now that I have had some time to think about it.

Vic
